Last night's sunset - red sky at night - shepherd's delight.
This morning's frost - to freeze the nuts of your tractor!
But heralding a glorious day - cutting firewood in shirtsleeves -
must have been 20 degrees (that's celsius) - so I lit a few fires,
to remove wood to small or too old to be firewood. But nothing untoward
to report!  (Ohhh they all sighed) - well I can recommend a good fire to save
the trip to the beautician - bikini line? - no problem! -
if it looks like my hands, anyway - bare as a badger's bum.
The afternoon did bring scuds of drizzle, but it cleared.
Then -  come sundown, that strange quiet descended, as sounds muffle
when the air is filled with flakes - no, not corn - snow!

It only lasted an hour, but no rain has fallen since, & the cold night will leave
it pristine, & who knows what the early morn will bring?
certainly not feet, as you Yanks (excludes Ga, NC & WV) experience, but it
will certainly add moisture for the Spring, so I can put up with the slush.

the sunset, frost & snow are illustrated in "More Photos"  - if you care (to look)

If we did get a foot - snowbound, & a payroll due to be calculated tomorrow!
